January 20, 2025, Pathway Along the North Shore of Großer Segeberger See

The further you get from Bad Segeberg, the quieter and more secluded the path becomes – at least in winter. After rain or during thaws, it can sometimes be very muddy.

On hot days, the shady paths are a welcome change 😉...

The Ihlsee is located in the northwestern part of the town of Bad Segeberg, on the northern edge of the Kleinniendorf district, and is part of the designated Ihlsee and Ihlwald nature reserve. The formation of the lake has not been fully investigated. Either the depression formed after the Ice Age due to dead ice, or it originated as a sinkhole through the collapse of a cave in the Segeberg salt dome. Today, the lake has an area of approximately 29 hectares and extends 450 m in a north-south direction and approximately 850 m in a west-east direction; the shoreline length is 2.25 km. Along with the Bültsee and the Garrensee, the lake is one of the few nutrient-poor lakes in Schleswig-Holstein. The lake lies in a depression and has no inflow. It is fed only by groundwater and inflowing surface water (precipitation). North of the bathing area is the outflow, which connects the lake with the Großer Segeberger See. The lake can be circumnavigated, but there is no path directly along the shore. On the eastern shore, there is a bathing area that has existed for decades; the bathing water quality is regularly monitored and has been rated very good to good in recent years. A residential area is located on the northern shore. On the western and southern sides, the Ihlwald, a swamp forest, determines the shoreline strip. From 1911 to 1961, there was a train station at the Ihlsee for the Kiel–Segeberg narrow-gauge railway, the tracks of which were removed as early as 1962. The Ihlsee was designated a nature reserve in 1950 due to its special characteristics. The lake is a particularly nutrient-poor body of water, which results in a rare flora. Today, the lake is part of the Ihlsee and Ihlwald nature reserve and, since 2006, part of the Natura 2000 protected area network. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ihlsee

July 23, 2024, Ihlsee Beach

On the eastern shore of the Ihlsee, the lido invites you to swim in wonderfully clear water. For small bathers, the spacious, shallow non-swimmer area is ideal for playing and splashing around. In addition, wide lawns and the diving tower with water slide offer plenty of fun for the whole family or especially for a refreshment and cooling down during your tour. Free parking is also available. http://ihlsee-strandbad.de/
